Hi fellow Forumites-
We are offering for sale my daughters young TB gelding. Katie has other horses in work and is doing Year 12, so she has no time for this lovely young fellow.
He is a 16hh, 5yo bay TB gelding. He raced 5 times as a 2yo, then was retired as too slow. His racing name was "Malarkey" and he was trained by Sharyn Ratsch in Gawler. Since then he has done flatwork lessons and trail riding with his previous owner. Katie then took him to the Williamstown Encourage Gr 5 ODE in March, and he came 4th. He was winning after dressage. He knocked one rail in SJ, then had one silly run out in XC. Not bad for a horse who'd never even seen any of these things before! He may grow a little bit more in height, but will certainly fill out more. He has gorgeous movement and great conformation. He is very pretty and elegant, with long straight legs. No scars. He will be a good allrounder and PC horse, as he is a great jumper, loves water and is a good trail rider. And with his looks and movement he will also make a talented hack or dressage horse. He rides well in a group or alone. He is presently paddocked with our other horses, but the previous owner kept him in a private paddock and stable on an agistment. He works beautifully round at the walk and trot, and although his canter is still a bit rushed, it is improving with every ride. He almost always picks up the correct canter lead. He is easy to handle and has no vices. He needs an experienced and competent rider as he is a young TB, but he is really very quiet for a TB of his age! No need for lunging or riding every day. Up to date with teeth, worming and feet. He only wears front shoes. He is also microchipped and EA Registered. He is EA registered as "Immortal", as his stable name is Jacob. (Katie chose this name as it fitted in with the whole Team Jacob / Twilight theme!) He is a very honest horse, and he loves people and work. We want him to go to a good and loving home, as he deserves it. He has so much potential, and we would love to see him out and about because we know he will be a great horse. -He just needs time and training, which Katie doesn't have. We are asking $2000 for him, and that includes his rugs, bridle and EA papers. Genuine enquiries are welcome, and we are happy to negotiate to the right home. We are located at One Tree Hill in SA.
Please contact me if you are interested in this lovely boy.
